Blog Reader - use of undeclared identifier:author

Here is the code. I'm getting the above mentioned error.

import "AATableViewController.h"

import "BlogPost.h"

@interface AATableViewController ()

@end

@implementation AATableViewController

  • (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewStyle)style { self = [super initWithStyle:style]; if (self) { // Custom initialization } return self; }

  • (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad];

    self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(20.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);

    NSURL *blogURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/api/get_recent_summary"];

    NSData *jsonData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:blogURL];

    NSError *error = nil;

    NSDictionary *dataDictionary = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:jsonData options:0 error:&error]; NSLog(@"%@", dataDictionary);

    self.blogPosts = [NSMutableArray array];

    NSArray *blogPostArray = [dataDictionary objectForKey:@"posts"];

    for (NSDictionary *bpDictionary in blogPostArray) { BlogPost *blogPost = [BlogPost blogPostWithTitle:[bpDictionary objectForKey:@"title"]]; blogPost *author = [bpDictionary objectForKey:@"author"]; [self.blogPosts addObject:blogPost]; }

}

    // Return the number of sections. return 1; }

  • (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {

    // Return the number of rows in the section. return [self.blogPosts count]; }

  • (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell"; UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];

    cell.textLabel.text = blogPost.title; cell.detailTextLabel.text = blogPost.author; return cell; }

Could you fix the formatting of the details of your question? Also, could you tell me in which line does the compiler show the error?
